Hybrid courses, a combination of online/asynchronous and inclass/
synchronous learning, are relative newcomers among the
different types of course delivery options available to instructors.
Along with them comes the need to develop and organize online
course materials to ensure student participation and success with
the online component, usually fully 50% of the course. A
concurrent recent development is the movement to reintroduce
classes in Library and Information Studies/Science (LIS) directed
toward undergraduates, of which this course was one. This poster
captures one such attempt at piloting and delivering a hybrid
course in the field of Library and Information Studies by
graphically showcasing the different online elements utilized in
the course, their development and organizational implementation.
It then offers analysis, provides a discussion of relevant
theoretical notions and frameworks useful for contextualizing the
observations made, and suggest several areas of and possibilities
for future inquiry.
